Cons
"If you need to scale, you do need to trade up to a new Fortinet solution.""There are European and US clouds and sometimes we mix them up. The solution should make determining the clouds more clear, or make one cloud instead of having separate ones.""The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved.""The robustness of the software could be improved.""The command-line interface could definitely be improved in future iterations. It's lacking right now.""When it comes to technical support, the problem we have found is that if an issue comes, it takes a day to get everything resolved. It could be faster. They can be better at optimizing how they answer tickets in terms of response times. There must be ways to make the process more streamlined. It would make it easier for their clients.""The interface and dashboards should improve in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. Other solutions have better graphical interfaces.""We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."

"One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product.""The integration with other network devices needs improvement.""I would like to see additional modules included.""HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."
